RESPITE SERVICES
We are happy to announce that we provide this service for families in Chickasaw County. “Respite” refers to short term, temporary care provided to people with disabilities in order that their families can take a break from the daily routine of care giving. Respite services are available through a sliding fee scale or a grant with Hawkeye Valley Area Agency on Aging.
